The Kamei Katana Shinken stands as one of the most prestigious swords in the YariNoHanzo Superior Series, blending historical reverence, martial functionality, and exceptional artistry. This top-tier katana is a faithful reproduction of original pieces preserved in Japanese museums, specifically created for practitioners and collectors seeking the pinnacle of quality in a handmade Japanese sword.

The Koshirae (fittings and mountings) are not merely decorative; they represent the refined soul of the samurai tradition. Every component of the Kamei Katana — from the elegant blue silk tsukaito to the buffalo horn-finished saya — reflects authenticity, heritage, and high craftsmanship. This katana has become a benchmark of quality, frequently imitated by others — yet never matched in execution or performance.

The blade is forged using the rare and demanding Soshu Kitae technique, combining three different steels: 1045, 1060, and 1095 high carbon layers. The result is a blade that is both incredibly durable and strikingly beautiful, enhanced by a clay tempering process that creates a vivid Gunome Choji hamon along its length. It features no bohi, adding weight and cutting authority while maintaining superior balance.

Engineered for Iaido, Kendo kata, and Kenjutsu, this katana is fully sharpened, perfectly balanced, and built with a full tang construction, reinforced by two bamboo mekugi for structural integrity during high-intensity practice.

The handle is wrapped in premium blue silk tsukaito, overlaid in Hinerimaki style with Hishigami inserts and genuine ray skin (Samegawa) — delivering ideal grip, control, and elegance. The vivid contrast of blue on black adds a modern touch to a classic samurai aesthetic.

The Kuroro-style black lacquered saya is crafted from natural wood and finished with real buffalo horn at the kojiri, koiguchi, and kurikata — providing long-term durability and prestige.

This sword is supplied without sageo, allowing each practitioner to personalize the sword to their school or style. It comes housed in an elegant burgundy cotton bag for transportation and storage.

Each Kamei Katana Shinken passes rigorous YariNoHanzo quality control and represents an exclusive piece of martial heritage. For those who demand tradition, beauty, and function — this katana is without rival.
